ML Police bureau stresses rope, rip-off pireveniiion
By Dd Pcirsr -
A student, Jack Homer,
Sat his stuff in the comer,
In the Union while eating his pie.
He was struck dumb,
'Cause when he was done,
Ks stuff was nowhere nearby.
Apparently Jack Horner isn't the only
one losing things.' Last year, . the UNL
community lost $10900 from' thefts,
according to a handbook distributed by
Campus Police.
But a new division within Campus
Police is working to make students aware
of preventive measures to "combat the
problems we had last year," said Officer
Maureen Knott.
Knott said she is one of three officers
assigned to the crime prevention bureau,
established this year by Police Chief Gail
Gade. - . .
- The number of thefts from university
buildings and living units was "unreal
last year, Knott said. But that number is
decreasing this year and the crime preven

unfamiliar with campus life," she said.
Awareness of "what to look for" is the
first step toward preventing crimes, Knott
explained.
One segment of the bureau is the rape
prevention program, which Knott said she
has worked with again, in an effort to
make students aware of preventive mea
sures to avoil a "potential danger."
"New sexual laws have helped us under
stand that this crime rape) should be rc-

port and understanding of police officers
and the courts, Knott sail.
UNL has been fortunate in the low
card, she said.
The 45 commissioned officers working
in Campus Police "try to keep their juris
diction within the campus proper," Knott
said, but because city streets run through
campus, this is not always possible.
Campus police have statewide juris
diction, she said, and work closely with
other law enforcement agencies.
Te have a good working relationship
with the county sheriff, city and state
law enforcement agencies," she said.
